Maintaining water and dust resistance | Charge the battery | Wireless power sharing

Your device uses a nano-SIM card. A SIM card may be preinstalled, or you may be able

to use your previous SIM card. Network indicators for 5G service are based on your

service provider’s specifications and network availability. Contact your service

provider for more details.

100%

Charge your device

Before turning on your

device, charge it fully.

Install SIM

Place the SIM card into

the tray with the gold

contacts facing up.

NOTE Your device is IP68 rated for dust and water resistance. To maintain the

Devices and software are constantly evolving — the illustrations you see here are for reference only.

Maintaining water and dust resistance

CAUTION To avoid electric shock and damage to your device, do not charge

device while it is wet or in an area where it could get wet. Do not handle device,

charger or cords with wet hands while charging.

The device is not impervious to dust and water damage in any situation. It is important

that all compartments are closed tightly.

Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to the device and maintain dust and

water resistance performance:

l Water resistant based on IP68 rating, which tests submersion in fresh water deeper

than 1.5 meters or keep it submerged for more than 30 minutes. If device is exposed

to fresh water, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth; if exposed to liquid other

than fresh water, rinse with fresh water and dry as directed.

l Any device which uses accessible compartments or ports that can be opened

should have these sealed or closed tightly to prevent liquid from entering the

system.

l If the device has been immersed in water or the microphone or speaker is wet,

sound may not be heard clearly during a call. After wiping the device with a dry

cloth, dry it thoroughly before using it.

l Do not expose the device to water at high pressure.

l If the device is dropped or receives an impact, the water and dust resistant features

of the device may be damaged.

l If dust or foreign materials enter the microphone, speaker, or receiver, the device

sound may become quiet or certain features may not work. If you attempt to

remove the dust or foreign materials with a sharp object, the device may be

damaged and it's appearance may be affected.

l If the air vent hole is covered by an accessory of type, unwanted noises may occur

during calls or media playback.

NOTE Liquid other than fresh water may enter the device faster. Failure to rinse

the device in fresh water and dry it as instructed may cause the device to suffer

from operability or cosmetic issues.

Arthritis.

Before beginning your exercise regimen check with your doctor if you have

symptoms suggestive of heart, lung, or other serious disease, such as:

• Pain or discomfort in your chest, neck, jaw, or arms during physical activity;

• Dizziness or loss of consciousness;

• Shortness of breath with mild exertion or at rest, or when lying down or going to
